Homer

For as I detest the doorways of Death, I detest that man, who hides one thing in the depths of his heart, and speaks forth another.

It's time to reread the Iliad. I'm currently rereading Tacitus. It's a shame that our society has deemed classical wisdom as passe. We've much to learn from Homer, Tacitus and others. It's one thing to scorn the building blocks of that which you despise and quite another to do so out of spite because you lack the ability to accomplish anything of worth.
